Emily Chubbick Judson (1817-1854) is a well-known name, but for
more reasons than most know. She was a nationally known writer (her
pseudonym was Fanny Forrester) with pieces appearing alongside
those by Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman, and she walked in
literary company second to none. She wrote children's books,
essays, and stories. Then, in 1845, she met Adoniram Judson and
they married in 1846. Their work in Burma made them famous as
Baptist missionaries. After his death in 1850, she returned to the
States in 1851 and spent the last years of her life writing and
publishing her essays and poetry, and helping to produce a
biography of her husband. During her fascinating life, she was a
prolific letter writer. This is the first volume of her life and
works, with volumes 2 through 6 containing all of her letters. As
these volumes are presented, readers and scholars in the future
will find in this material encouragement for sharing more about the
Judson lives, and the wonderful work they accomplished. Their
humanity, their faith, and their deep commitment to their call
should prove to be instructive and inspirational to each of our
lives. Volume 1 consists of footnotes, time lines, and biographies
that have all emerged out of the project itself. For example, many
of Emily Chubbic Judson's letters are undated. To put them in
sequence, the events, places, and people within the letters were
identified so they could be understood and interpreted correctly;
this resulted in a 'Cast of Characters' and 'Places and Events'.
The 'Publication Time' puts Chubbick's writings in chronological
order. The footnotes clarify and lend context to the names and
faces, as well as the stories and the events within the letters,
and the connectiveness between the letters. Volume 2 consists of
the early letters Emily Chubbick Judson from the years 1836 through
1845.
